The best answer I have ...I too play in salsa bands. The best answer I have is to WEAR EARPLUGS. Then you'll hear your own pitch. If this still isn't enough, run your mike through a headphone amp as well as sending it to the board (it should be hot enough to do both) and wear headphones on top of the earplugs. You'll probably only want one side of the headphones on though, so you can still hear everyone else.Mal-2http://mal-2.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13630144.post-10487550019982664212008-07-06T20:00:00.000-07:002008-07-06T20:00:00.000-07:00All it takes is going into the recording studio to...All it takes is going into the recording studio to learn just how poorly one's intonation is. <BR/><BR/>Two questions:<BR/><BR/>1. Has there been any pitch analysis of great players of the past along the lines of the graph you present? <BR/><BR/>2. My problem is usually when I'm playing with a loud band. It can be really disturbing (to me) to view a video of a performance that I thought went pretty well only to hear some pitch problems undoubtedly caused by the poor mix. Do sax (or all) players have this problem? Any solutions? I'm working in salsa and funk bands and sometimes I fear I'll lose both my hearing and my voice. Then where will I be?Me Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03065973224789847682noreply@blogger.com
